Photographer Showcase: "Omni-Phantasmic" by Neil Craver

Phantasmic-1. Something apparently seen but having no physical reality; a phantom or an apparition. Also called phantasma.2. An illusory mental image. Also called phantasma.3. In Platonic philosophy, objective reality as perceived and distorted by the five senses.

North Carolina based photographer Neil Craver's "Omni-Phantasmic" photography is "meant to be consumed with your emotions, and not simply perceived with your sense organs". Craver wanted "to create an under tow of messages to stress the strong influences of unconscious elements affecting and driving people's lives" so why not "dive into the cloudy placid waters of the subconscious world to uncover a linkage between the conscious and the subconscious mind"?
